2016 Ford Flex - Reliable but not attractive.

It's a good, quality car with lots of features and built-in technology. I enjoy the amount of space, especially in the trunk. I also like the features such as the back-up camera and the many USB and power ports to charge phones and such. The display is sometimes hard to navigate, and it isn't very intuitive. Also, the visual appearance of the car isn't the greatest, but it makes up for it in good quality and reliability. The gas mileage isn't the best, and I find that I have to fill the tank pretty often. It is a pretty big tank, but the car is larger so needs more fuel than a smaller car would. It doesn't have the hybrid capabilities or an electric component to plug into. I like the color options available for the car. You can find something to suit almost anyone's taste. The car itse...

The car itself does look like a horse though. It's a bit too big and boxy for my taste. Looks like something a soccer mom or older individual would drive, which is still ok. The climate controls are dual, so each person has control, but I don't think it works that great. The one nice thing is the heated seats, especially for the winter when it gets really cold. Overall, I would lease this car again while I still need a car to travel with that can hold all of my belongings but would prefer a smaller car to drive with every day.

Story

I took this vehicle on a road trip across most of the U.S. All of my possessions fit into the car, which was great!

2016 Ford Flex - This car is very attractive.

I liked it in the beginning, now I love it. I really don't understand why Ford doesn't sell more of these. I believe it's because of a lack of advertising. I receive lots of comments from passengers that they agree with me. The ride is smooth and quiet. It feels like a substantial, high-quality car.

Story

Visibility is amazing, is surprisingly quick even without the Eco boost engine, and nimble on the road like a sports sedan, and looks great. Don't pass one of these vehicles up, look at one before you buy something else.

Pros

The engine is good, and the six-speed transmission makes the powertrain great. The engine feels bigger than it is because the transmission keeps the engine rpm right in the sweet spot of the power curve. The shifting is very precise. It never hunts or gets confused.

Cons

There is a lot of room inside for people or cargo. The back seat is plenty big for three full-size adults with unbelievable leg room. I have three college kids, and there aren't any complaints.
